Back then there were suit and tie types in charge, so there was no tree hugging bias, it was too early historically. Seems like nothing has changed. But it has.
THE NAVY in it's own paper titled:
Navy Climate Change Road Map 21 may 10an excerpt:
A preponderance of global observational evidence shows the Arctic Ocean is losing sea
ice, global temperatures are warming, sea level is rising, large landfast ice sheets
(Greenland and Antarctic) are losing ice mass, and precipitation patterns are
changing. ref 1,2
While there has been criticism on the details of the methods and results found
in reports published by the IPCC and other entities, the Navy acknowledges that
climate change is a national security challenge with strategic implications for the Navy.
Climate change is affecting, and will continue to affect, U.S. military installations worldwide.
Melting permafrost is degrading roads, foundations, and structures on DoD and
USCG installations in Alaska. Droughts in the southeast and southwest U.S. are
challenging water resource management. Sea level rise and storm surge will lead to an
increased likelihood of inundation of coastal infrastructure, and may limit the availability
of overseas bases.
According to Global Warming / Climate Change deniers there is NO GLOBAL WARMING.
They believe Currier & Ives and Norman Rockwell. 4 seasons the world in equilibrium.
That is an illusion. This is by choice. The International Meteorological Organization voted in 1923 approx.to make the last ten years temps the ones to average. Then in 1953 becomes W.M.O.. Who then despite the fact oceans rose 1-2 inches a century for 7000 years and the rate of rising increased to a rate of 4-6 inches a century. And the average global temperature was up 1 deg.F from 1900=1950* chose 1950 as a baseline. Hiding all the warming from industrialization. It's gone up 2 deg F since then.
The following is from The Director of the Navy's Task Force Climate Change.++
Navy Rear Adm. David W. Titley:
"The observations have shown us that through the 20th century, sea level rose by an average of two millimeters per year, So that means over the course of the century, we had about 20 centimeters, or roughly eight inches, of sea level rise. The sea level rise we've seen in the first 10 years of the new century is already 50 percent greater than the average sea level rise in the 20th century."
1.5 x 8 that means 12 inches per century = 1.2 so far in this decade = the ave per century until the twentieth. So that means so far since 1900 the ocean has undergone the equivalent of 6 -7 centuries of natural global warming.(interglacial)
When you hear the phrase " x odd degs above or below average" you must know they mean in the last ten years. Because with the temperature trending upward ten years ago can "keep up" so the variation is low. It doesn't seem to be going up much. Further Hiding the Fact in Plain Sight.
But where do you suppose the extra energy to in crease the air speeds to make the oceans choppy?+
Where do you suppose the extra energy to in crease the air temperature and the frequency of forest & range fires droughts and heat waves.
The Atmosphere and Ocean Aren't Political they just absorb heat move it and loose it. Movement and heat that we should harness. Think of if it as regenerative braking. We put all this energy in to the system over these last 2 Centuries we might as well get a return on our investment.
We have Burned a million years of forests (coal) and other resources (oil) that the ocean & the atmosphere have plenty of EXTRA energy to last.
Even if we tried to diminish the waves with all the wave machines we could produce.
Even if we tried to diminish the winds with all the wind mills we could produce.
We couldn't put a dent in the available energy.
We're still adding heat to the planet by adding more blankets: co2 ch4 h2o etc.**
Only 100 Square miles of Solar Collectors are needed for ALL of our nations electrical needs.
If we were to use the pavement in every shopping center, parking lot, sidewalk, road, highway, etc. there would be more than enough collector area and it would cool the surrounding areas. Create Cool Islands instead of Heat Islands.
Put heat back in Before snow storms, heat them to 40 deg, the roads stay dry. the snow won't stick. Make electricity in the summer when the sun is the hottest and the electricity is expensive (read: profitable).
store heat & cold all day to use at night. (read: Stirling's )
What is the answer:
NEW
HYDROGEN (read: Internal combustion steam engine)
HYDROGEN SEPARATED FROM NATURAL GAS NOT CONVERTED FROM IT,( because it emits CO2)
HYDROGEN FROM ELECTROLYSIS (from Renewable electric ONLY and grey water not potable)
RECYCLED
BIO DIESEL FROM WASTE ONLY
NATURAL GAS FROM WASTE ONLY
ETHANOL FROM WASTE ONLY
RENEWABLE
SOLAR with all it's forms:
WIND, SEA CURRENTS, SEA & LAKE WAVES, HYDROELECTRIC, PHOTOVOLTAIC, THERMAL SOLAR, CONCENTRATED SOLAR, ETC.
AVOID THESE LIKE THE PLAGUE:
NO ENERGY FROM FOOD CROPS PERIOD!!!!!
NO ETHANOL FROM FOOD CROPS, FROM WASTE ONLY
NO BIO DIESEL FROM FOOD CROPS, FROM WASTE ONLY (used vegetable oil isn't a food)
NO NEW WELLS ( it just DELAYS CHANGE and OIL SPILLS KILL the OCEANS which SUPPORT US)
NO HYDROGEN FROM NATURAL GAS CONVERSION,(there is stillCO2)
HYDROGEN SEPARATED FROM EXISTING DOMESTIC NATURAL GAS ONLY
NO NUCLEAR, (no explanation needed) maybe so #
NO COAL,(there is stillCO2, always more mercury, usually more radiation than nukes, but stuff happens)#
THEN:
Build Solar Systems, to make fresh water & electricity create Cool Islands.
( I've designed several inquire at: ubernerd1956@yahoo.com,http://twitter.com/ ultrakeen)
Build Wave Machines, to make fresh water & electricity sequester co2 & sequester heat deep and cool the surface water. ( I've designed several inquire at: ubernerd1956@yahoo.com,http://twitter.com/ ultrakeen)
My Decentralized power and Heating & Cooling System will pay for it's self and your house. My Hybrid electric car plugs in to your house of my design, and runs off natural gas and send electricity to your home. The gas comes from your kitchen and bodily waste sent to an anaerobic digester to produce the gas. The gas goes to the car which powers your home. When you are away from home the solar powered sterling refrigerator and parabolic solar collector focuses the heat on a sterling engine to make electricity and sequester heat & cold all day, to make electricity and fresh water and heat and cool
your home.
( I've designed several inquire at: ubernerd1956@yahoo.com,http://twitter.com/ ultrakeen)
Build Wind mills, that make electricity ( I've designed 1 inquire at: ubernerd1956@yahoo.com,http://twitter.com/

22 years after I found out about it LOL*
22 years ago and no political change yet*
44 years of tears as I see what others denyeven though it's in
PLAIN SIGHT

# SEA water? are you kidding me?
THERE GOES THE GROUND WATER NEAR THE PLANT TO THE SEA,
THE WATER TABLE NEAR AND THE RIVERS OF JAPAN THEN ARE THE PRIMARY DELIVERY,
STEAM T0 THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES THE SECONDARY DELIVERY,
THE LOCAL RIVERS THEN ARE THE FINAL DELIVERY,
THE OCEAN THE RECEPTACLE TO ALL.
THE FOOD CHAIN ROOTS.
THERE GOES US.
